A Little Blog Diversity

If you get tired of reading blogs, like this one, written by white men, Juan Cole has some recommendations:

• al-Muhajabah Veiled 4 Allah
• Iranians for Peace
  
• Amarji by Ammar Abdul Hamid
• Abbas Kadhim
• Just World News by Helena Cobban
• Riverbend
• Just a Bump in the Beltway by Melanie Mattsoon
• Suburban Guerilla by Susan Madrak

This is a day of new beginnings,
time to remember and move on,
time to believe what love is bringing,
laying to rest the pain that's gone.

For by the life and death of Jesus,
God's mighty Spirit, now as then,
can make for us a world of difference,
as faith and hope are born again.
